What started as a unique live music event at local bars in Oklahoma City is now making its way across the nation via social media and in person. Badwagon is a band from Oklahoma City that plays Mario Kart music live while people play the game on a projector screen and they have recently taken their group activity from Oklahoma City all the way to San Jose, California.

The group's first live Mario Kart 8 tournament took place Dec. 13, 2023, at The Speak in Oklahoma City. And since then, the group has hosted events at various bars in Oklahoma City and Norman.

To kickoff 2025, the band took their first gig outside Oklahoma in San Jose, California. And they're now offering for people to book them and their unique Mario Kart experience for private events. And maybe the group will bring their experience to other places in Oklahoma!

If you're a fan of Mario Kart or live music in general, the live Mario Kart experience is definitely entertaining! You can check out videos of the bands past events on their official Instagram. They also have a YouTube page.

Badwagon hasn't announced when their next Mario Kart event in Oklahoma will be. But you can find out more about the band or book them for an event on their official website. For up-to-date information about live Mario Kart events, be sure to follow their live Mario Kart Instagram account.

Unique Things to Do in Oklahoma City

There is no shortage of things to do in OKC. While there are a handful of things everyone knows about--OKC Zoo, Myriad Gardens, Bricktown, etc-- there are even more lesser-known places to experience one-of-a-kind Oklahomaness. Some things cost a little money, others are completely free, but it's all fun for the whole family.
